To maximize fitness, organisms must assess and select suitable habitat. Early research
studying birds suggested that organisms consider primarily vegetation structural cues in …

The ability of nest predation to influence habitat settlement decisions in birds is widely
debated, despite its importance in limiting fitness. Here, we experimentally manipulated nest …

T management for any animal, including birds, is habitat management. Even with
endangered species that require intensive measures such as captive breeding, successful …

Habitat selection is a decision-making process that birds use to select a habitat in which they
live. It is crucial for individuals to make the correct choices, because their living space …

Numerous studies have confirmed that when selecting habitat birds can use social
information acquired from observing other individuals, and many aspects of this social …

In eastern North America, most early-successional woody habitats are ephemeral and
succeed to forests within a few decades. Consequently, for shrubland birds patches of …

Shorebird populations often rely on wetland habitats, for which they are considered
important indicators of ecosystem health. Populations residing at low latitudes remain vastly …

In territorial animals occupying environments that vary in quality over the landscape, high-
